The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus #4) narrated by Nick Chamian
Summary: Hazel stands at a crossroads. She and the remaining crew of the Argo II could return home with the Athena Parthenos statue and try to stop Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter from going to war. Or they could continue their quest to find the House of Hades, where they might be able to open the Doors of Death, rescue their friends Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus, and prevent monsters from being reincarnated in the mortal world. Whichever road they decide to take, they have to hurry, because time is running out. Gaea, the bloodthirsty Earth Mother, has set the date of August 1 for her rise to power.

The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5) narrated by Nick Chamian
Summary: Nico had warned them. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods' worst memories. Their ghosts would become restless. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time. But that might be better than the alternative: allowing someone else to die, as Hades foretold.

Urban Fantasy/Romance/YA
This is the second of the Percy Jackson series, and I do like this group of teenagers and their adventures. Hazel and Leo in particular are lovely. I liked Nico in the original series, so I was glad to see him in this, but his romance felt unnecessary and thrown in to please people, rather than actually given time to develop and allow him to grow as a person. Hopefully anything more along those lines will be dealt with better.
I do plan to keep reading Riordan's series, but I think I'll put them on the back burner for now since this one is complete. They are definitely enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to the other Mythologies' stories. If you enjoyed the first series, this one's definitely worth checking out. A great follow-up to the first series.
